    Lucky you! Perhaps I should message him again as he didn't offer me anything!

    I did mention to him that I had just been waiting for 10 mins for the survey to work....and I had screengrabs for evidence. Though he didnt argue about it to be fair.

    To be fair I wasnt expecting half of it, more along the lines of...25p lol.

    :( - were you waiting long? If you have screengrabs you could send them to Prolific.

    I did hang on for almost 10 minutes. Messaged him back and got the same result as you mikep22. Feeling better about it now!

    Just got a message from the researcher about the £5 study. He said it became full when I went into it and is now closed. Doesn't sounds like that if mikep22 has been able to access it...
    That's the response I got bit annoyed as it had 3 places left when I clicked on it and usually prolific tells you if the study is full.

    I dont think the issue here was with Prolific. Think it was with whatever engine the researcher was using.

    If Prolific thinks the survey is full, you wont be able to start it, at all. Which is why I think the problem is elsewhere.
